Oh my goodness, I had no idea the castle lit up like that. When I was there in April, it never got dark during the park's hours of operation. It looks beautiful at night though. Someday I'll have to go during a season where it gets dark earlier.
Ive seen pictures of what mainstreet looks like at xmas, I didnt really like what I saw. Im sure it'll be a different case when I see it proper in december.
7th of January, it was the last day of the christmas celebrations. It was bitterly cold that day! I had on two t-shirts, a jumper a jacket and a coat and was still very cold! I look fat in all my pictures!! I found myself drinking coffee (i hate it!) to keep warm. Still had an excellent time and it's a great time of year to visit as the decorations are still up but there are no crowds. Longest we waited was 10 minutes!
